How to play it

✓

Dodge her Charm

Wait for her to throw Charm, then dodge it with your E: once it's on cooldown she has nothing to stop you.

✓

E in, W through her

Engage with E, then W through her to dodge the Charm: she won't expect you behind her, and that's your kill window.

✓

You win side lanes

This is a skill matchup you win: you especially beat her in the side lanes, so look to isolate her there.

✕

Never all-in before she's used her Charm: wait it out, dodge it with E, then go.
